This may be the cheesiest story youll read all dayliterally. Thats because 27 metric tons of flaming goat cheese burned inside a Norwegian road tunnel, closing nearly two miles of the road for six days.
Brunost, a Norwegian cheese considered a delicacy, was being shipped in a truck that caught fire. No one was hurt in the incident, which firefighters were finally able to put out on Monday.

Nanny Goat State ping. This is baaad news.
It was also reported by Yahoo Ewes that Norwegian Rats were the suspected arsonists who regarded the cheese as bait in the construction of a better mousetrap. They were seen leaving the scene in a GTO.

As long as it wasn’t jalapeno cheddar. That would be a sad loss.

Reminds me of peanut butter when eaten on crackers, but is firm rather than creamy

Yes, it would be a good name for a rock band especially if they wore goatees and played head banging metal.

I remember one time in the Valley in California where a tanker truck filled with Hershey’s syrup spilled.

As a Norwegian-American (see I can hyphenate too,) I am terribly embarrassed by this incident. Who knew that our prize culinary art forms were so lethal? I'm forthwith writing the Prime Minister to stick with lutefisk and lefsa—they have no flavor or taste—but heck they're not volatile. LOL

"As a Norwegian-American (see I can hyphenate too,) I am terribly embarrassed by this incident. Who knew that our prize culinary art forms were so lethal?" I am somewhat alarmed you sneaky Norwegianeese have somehow hidden the fact you have Giant Goats to aide in making your CMDs (Cheese of Max Destruction)

Wouldn’t the cheese be good for a moose trap? Just a bit for the moose’s sister. There are lovely lakes and majestic moose in all of Scandinavia.

The trucking company’s motto is “We put the toast in Gjetost.”
(Fellow 100% Norske-American here too. But you can keep the lutefisk!)
